New system detects process anomalies during metal cutting in machine tools.

Although the first iteration of 5G technology has offered limited use cases in manufacturing, the next two generations, now expected to be available in the fall of this year and then the fall of next year because of COVID-19-related delays, will help factory owners achieve greater digital transformation of their factories.

Dana Inc., the automotive supplier that outfits many of the world’s leading automobile brands with drivetrain components and more, is building something very special in-house.

There is very good technology available today that helps manufacturers solve real problems, but that is not what digital manufacturing is about.

In the 1955 short story “Autofac,” Philip K. Dick envisioned a world dominated by self-replicating robots that work incessantly, eventually depleting the planet’s resources.

Vibrations, chatter marks, and tool failure are all problems that can be prevented with intelligent monitoring and feedback systems.

New capability adapts process parameters for optimal results independent of operator experience for its LT Fiber EVO and CO2-type LT722D.

Laser marking ensures safe traceability as well as counterfeit protection.

Not long ago, the mention of workholding might call to mind the traditional vise or three-jaw chuck. The integral nature of proper fixturing to successful machining has forever changed that paradigm and made workholding as critical to the manufacturing process as any of the machines or systems of which it is a part.

The history of cutting tools goes back a ways—a long, long way. Our prehistoric ancestors were pretty good at making stone tools, and the technology has improved from there. I saw how much on a February visit to the Deutsches Museum in Munich, which has an exhibit on the history of machining.
